## Probable cause

THE PILOT'S FAILURE TO MAINTAIN DIRECTIONAL CONTROL. FACTORS INCLUDE GUSTY CROSSWINDS.

## Sequence of events

In NTSB's coding before 2008 (https://www.ntsb.gov/GILS/Documents/codman.pdf).

- Loss of control - on ground/water, landing - aborted
  - directional control - not maintained, pilot in command (cause)
  - weather condition - crosswind (contributing factor)
  - weather condition - gusts (contributing factor)

## Analysis

THE PILOT OF THE EXPERIMENTAL YORK Y2 WAS ATTEMPTING TO EXECUTE A GO AROUND AFTER TOUCHING DOWN IN GUSTY CROSSWINDS. HE LOST CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT, PRIOR TO LIFT OFF, WHILE CORRECTING BACK TOWARD THE CENTERLINE OF THE RUNWAY.
